Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool identify where a sentence ends?
The processor looks for standard punctuation marks—periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation points (!)—to define sentence boundaries before checking for your specified keywords.
Can I filter for multiple phrases at once?
Yes. You can enter any number of keywords or phrases separated by commas. If a sentence contains any one of those terms, it will be removed from the output.
Is the original paragraph structure preserved?
The tool maintains your original line breaks and paragraph spacing. Only the sentences matching your keywords are stripped away, keeping the rest of the layout intact.
Does the keyword match have to be exact?
By default, the tool is case-insensitive. However, you can enable the 'Case Sensitive' toggle if you need to distinguish between specific technical acronyms and common words.
